Editorial standards
The rules we hold ourselves to.
- 01
- Evidence before enthusiasm
- Every specific claim — a number, a date, a study, an institution — must trace to a source a reader could check. We report the strength of the evidence alongside the finding. Preprints are called preprints. Company timelines are attributed to the company.
- 02
- No fabricated sources
- Neurazine never invents a source, quotation, study or statistic. Where the literature is unsettled, we say so and avoid the number.
- 03
- AI in our work
- We use AI systems for research, drafting, fact-checking, art direction and distribution. They propose; editors decide. No system publishes without a named human approving it, and that approval is recorded.
- 04
- Corrections
- We correct errors promptly and visibly. Corrections are appended to the story with the date and what changed.
- 05
- Independence
- Editorial decisions are made by editors. Membership revenue funds the reporting; advertisers and partners have no influence over coverage.
- 06
- Not advice
- Neurazine reports and analyses. Nothing we publish is medical, legal or financial advice. Decisions about your health belong to you and a qualified clinician.
- 07
- Respect for readers
- No dark patterns, no hostile paywalls, no invasive tracking. We collect first-party analytics only to understand what is read, and never sell reader data.
- 08
- Bylines
- Bylines are editorial desks, not invented people. Every story names the desk that produced it and the editor of record who approved it. Human contributors are named alongside the desk. Neurazine never attaches a fabricated person to a story.
